re: Is it possible for a NBA coach to be a starter on a NBA team?(Posted by saintsfan92612 on 10/5/12 at 11:20 am to GrandeBeli)

quote:Since the salary cap was instituted prior to the 1984–85 season,[4] the NBA has prohibited teams from employing a player-coach.[5] The ruling was established to avoid the possibility that a team would circumvent the cap by signing a player as a player-coach, as coaches' salaries are not counted under the cap.
